mauldineconomics | We spend too much on healthcare relative to the health it buys us. As long as that is the case, no reform plan will work.
Did Obamacare cause this? No. It goes way back. Here’s another graphic showing the changes over time.
You can see that the United States began diverging from other
developed countries back in the 1980s. The gap has only grown wider
since then.
Stranger yet, we spend all this extra money yet still leave millions
of low-income citizens with little or no access to healthcare. Kaiser
Family Foundation says some 2.5 million working Americans make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to receive Obamacare tax credits.
